Tourney talk
Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com posted an NCAA tournament bracket projection this week and has Dayton as one of four Atlantic 10 teams in the field as a 10 seed. The Flyers are joined by Butler (4 seed), VCU (7) and Temple (8).
Palm was founder of CollegeRPI.com and ran that site for years before joining CBSSports.com this year as a “bracketology expert.” ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has the Flyers just outside the field, but he agrees with Palm that UD currently has the fourth-strongest résumé among A-10 teams.
TV
The Pac-12 Network, which is broadcasting the game, is part of a Time Warner Cable sports package and also is carried on the Dish Network.
